When I originally discovered the existence of the Dorothy Bubble Bar, I was really excited to try it out. It looked amazing and the reviews were really positive, which is always a good sign. Unfortunately, I think Lush had temporarily discontinued it at the time, as it wasn't listed on their site and I couldn't find it in any of my local stores. So I traipsed through pages and pages of listings on eBay and kept my eyes peeled, all the while hoping one would show itself sooner or later.

I'm going to be honest - the initial smell of this bubble bar is not all that pleasing. It smells a little of clean laundry after it's been left to dry overnight. A weak floral smell that is a little bit like Pop In the Bath, only not as sweet and sugary. It's by no means a terrible smell - just not a very interesting one.
Whilst running my bath, I crumbled the bubble bar under the tap and was pleased to see that the Dorothy bar produced a lot of bubbles. The heat and steam also helped to bring out the floral scent a little more, producing a very clean, fresh scent. You can pick out a gentle layer of ylang ylang, however, the smell remained rather weak, and when I first got into the bath, I could make out the scent of my pink FUN over anything that the Dorothy had created.

While Dorothy doesn't produce bubbles that are as soft or silky as other bubble bars, the water more than makes up for this. The water is wonderfully silky and I left the bath with beautiful velvety-smooth feeling skin. I felt really clean, refreshed and revitalised. However, when I stepped out of the bath, I was disappointed that the scent hadn't really lingered on my skin all that much at all. I also found that although my skin felt lovely and smooth, it still felt quite dry and in need of a moisturise.

While it's in no way a terrible bubble bar, there are just far more better ones that I would pick over this one.

I thought that the bubble bar was so cute looking but I basically got the same results :( I quite liked the turquoise water though!
